Eating disorders
Do you know someone who is dying to be thin? Eating disorders affect over eight million teenagers and young adults in the
United States. Yet many of them go undiagnosed because they hide their symptoms. Eating disorders, like the people afflicted
with them, come in many different packages. They vary in scope and severity; but, if left untreated, can destroy relationships,
bodies and lives. The two most common forms of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
